"The story of French exploration in Pacific waters has never been told in full. To reach back to the origins of French interest in the Mer du Sud, the author has made use of unpublished material from French national archives, records of trading concerns, reports from privateers, logbooks of old and forgotten explorers. This work is planned to present a complete panorama of French voyages of exploration from the closing years of the seventeenth to the middle of the nineteenth century. The first volume takes the story from the origins to the end of the eighteenth century ... second volume will continue it from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the 1840's when exploration gives way to political activities ..." -- Inside front cover, Volume I.

French explorer and naval officer Jean-Franois de la Prouse (1741 - 88) was, after James Cook, the greatest explorer of the Pacific in the eighteenth century. In 1785, La Perouse was commissioned by Louis XVI to head an expedition into the uncharted regions of the Pacific Ocean. Setting out from France, the expedition over the next three years was the first to map the coasts of California, Alaska, and Siberia. From there, La Prouse continued to Easter Island and Hawaii, where La Prouse Bay bears his name. After a stop in Botany Bay, Australia, La Prouse's two ships set out for the Solomon Islands. En route, they encountered a storm and were sunk; despite search efforts over the centuries, no trace of the wreckage of La Prouse's ships has been found. Where Fate Beckons tells the story of La Prouse's life and adventures, along the way providing a lively introduction to the world of French colonialism, the end of the Age of Exploration, and French society in the years leading to the French Revolution.
